| Regency = Fat Businessmen

Greetings from the Regency Club!
Woohoo for free internets and big cookies!
Aaron's talking on the phone, and I'm working on the Rogue Trader character - s'all good!
Myke

Cunvenshun Pthyme, Cunvenshun Pthyme, Time for Fun Filled Days!

| Nine Bars

Don't forget, you'll have the nine remaining bars from your Clif bar order from Amazon. I should have taken pictures of Wylie as he feasted on the other 9 - hilarious!
it's cool, i'll just suck the toothpaste I'm bringing for sustenance.

| TJ run.

M byke will have his wheels. I imagine he can help you out. I'm sure others may want a run too.
I arrives in SF around 9pm so be at the hotel 9:30 or so. You gonna have a car enron? Friday morning Trader Joes run, comeonnnn! :)

| Kombat Fuck Kommander

I'm game for that punishment. Your on mother trucker.

Dr. Futbol and I should be setup early afternoon at Boobla Khan. I'll let everyone know the room info once we are settled in.

| Sons of Bitches

You are all sons of bitches that happen to be attending Kubla today and tonight. Just because I have a family that I don't want to leave on Thursday night gives you assholes no right to go and start having fun without me.

Buncha' single, unmarried, heathen, jerkfaces who answer to no one but yourselves.... such audacity!

As punishment, you will all play me at Combat Commander - not as a group, as a series of painful, painful one off matches.

| Oh and here is some pre-con hijinks

Sweet Fluid & Lipid Dynamics study.

Rude, try bringing a bag of miniatures on to the plane. I swear they look at you like you are a 10 year old trapped in a man's body. It's great. I have had those bags searched a few times. They also didn't like it when my father brought a deactivated grenade in his carry as a gift for David. Pre-911. He had a blast with security that day.

Like Jon said Dennis, you have this afternoon to paint buddy. Get on it.

Elzar, I never figured you for a RTS hater. You were so into C&C in the 90s.

Who has BSG the boardgame? Is that coming? Please bring. I swear this time there will be the correct number of Cylons.

D>M>
I'm packed! Always nervous about bringing dice on a plane. Like, what the fuck do the x-ray people think that shit is when it goes thru the scanner!? All kinds of weird shapes.

| Partially painted!

That's unacceptable! You have two days to paint those up man! And read chapters VI and IX of Rogue Trader!

I'll make sure and bring the Malifaux rules and a couple decks o cards. I don't need anything else. Well, besides this copy of Space Alert. Space Alert, the malifaux rules, these card decks, and that's it. And this blanket. The blanket, the cards (etc.)

| Speaking of Games

Yooz should try out Majesty 2 for $7.50 on Steam. It's an RTS (which I freaking DISPISE) but a fun one! Your units are adventurers that all have minds of their own, and they level up, buy stuff, form parties, etc. and basically you as the Overlord facilitate their growth and by placing markers on the board, you entice them to perform tasks for you by offering payment for "explore this part of the map" or "deal with this graveyard that spawns skeletons" or "protect this caravan".

You can learn direct spells that effect the heroes and heal them in their individual combats, etc. and then when you make improvements to your buildings it is actually improving your heroes by providing them with healing potions in the marketplace, or better armor and weapons in the blacksmiths, or adding recruits to the guard that patrol the city, etc.

I hate, hate, hate, hate RTS games, but this is a nice mix between Sim RPG-Kingdom and an RTS that I am having lots of fun so far. And a full game for $7.50? Can't beat that with a bat.

I don't like games. Games are for babies. I'm strictly going to the Khan for the overpriced food. Hmmmm curry chicken....

Right, so it appears that due to some internet peer pressure, I purchased teh Malifaux. I have two crews based and partly painted. Curse you internet peer pressure!

| Amendment
